Abstract

Un método para licuar un gas de bajo punto de ebullición, en el cual el gas se comprime a alta presión, se enfría en una estructura intercambiadora de calor y se expande isoentálpicamente para condensar una porción del mismo a un líquido. El líquido es separado del gas residual y este gas residual se usa para enfriar la estructura de intercambio de calor y luego se recircula. Una porción del gas se comprime a una presión intermedia entre las presiones altas y bajas, se expande isoentrópicamente a una primera temperatura y se usa para enfriar una porción relativamente caliente de la estructura de intercambio de calor y luego se recircula. Una porción del gas a alta presión se expande isoentrópicamente a una segunda temperatura y se usa para enfriar una porción, relativamente fría, de la estructura de intercambio de calor y luego de nuevo se expande isoentrópicamente a una tercera temperatura a esa presión baja y se regresa a través de la estructura de intercambio de calor para enfriar la misma y luego se recircula. Esa primera temperatura es mayor que la segunda temperatura y la segunda temperatura es mayor que la tercera temperatura. El gas es preferiblemente el nitrógeno. El ciclo puede ser parte de una unidad de separación del aire, cuyo producto de nitrógeno, a presión baja, se integra para el ciclo de licuefacción y el producto de nitrógeno de presión alta se funde con el gas del ciclo de presión baja.A method of liquefying a low-boiling point gas, in which the gas is compressed at high pressure, cooled in a heat exchange structure, and expanded isenthalpically to condense a portion of it to a liquid. The liquid is separated from the waste gas and this waste gas is used to cool the heat exchange structure and is then recirculated. A portion of the gas is compressed at a pressure intermediate between the high and low pressures, isentropically expanded at a first temperature, and is used to cool a relatively hot portion of the heat exchange structure and is then recirculated. A portion of the high pressure gas expands isentropically at a second temperature and is used to cool a relatively cold portion of the heat exchange structure and then again expands isentropically at a third temperature at that low pressure and returns through the heat exchange structure to cool it and then it is recirculated. That first temperature is greater than the second temperature and the second temperature is greater than the third temperature. The gas is preferably nitrogen. The cycle may be part of an air separation unit, the nitrogen product of which at low pressure is integrated for the liquefaction cycle and the nitrogen product of high pressure is fused with the gas of the low pressure cycle.
